So we should do the YOU or the OSMF asks us to do? Ulf is not alone - I havent asked ... And a lot of people did not do so too. Even that i didnt ask for a license change - the new license is much to complex for my mind - CC-BY-SA hasnt shown any real problems up to now so i see the whole discussion as an artificial problem. I started with OSM to get free GeoData and IMHO any restriction put on the data limits its usefulness. I accepted the Attribution and the Share alike - now a lot more rules on what i am allowed and what not come down on me. This is a change in rules of the game while half way. AFAIK The only problem which could ever arise from CC-BY-SA is that its void which would probably (not proven) make data Public Domain which would also be fine with me.
